No Reason

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on April 24, 2017

I can’t come up with a single reason to be optimistic about this upcoming home series vs the Dodgers except for the “no reason” angle. Before we went to KC I thought it was entirely possibly we go 1-8. Even after we squeaked out the first one in extras I thought it was still possible that 1-8 ignominiously unfolded.

But there is always “no reason” to pin your hopes to. Things happen for no reason all the time. It’s one of the main reasons that sports books stay in business. If everything worked out as it appeared on paper, they’d go broke.

Arroyo looks really good in the field and at the plate–he definitely was not overmatched by the bums pitchers and he did not try to do too much with the bat. He’s taking sight. He needs to stick and to play.

Meanwhile, the middle of the Giants bullpen continues to define mediocrity. Thank gawd for Buster.

I remember I saw Arroyo for two ABs at Scottsdale. Has a really quiet approach at the plate, sets up in a fairly classic way, and does not over swing. Really well balanced through the swing. Kind of approach that likely won’t go into extended slumps…

Arroyo got schooled by Romo end the end, but still made him throw a lot of frisbee’s before locking him up with a FB.Do like what Snarkk said, a very quiet body with good discipline. He’s gonna be a real keeper..

I wonder if they called that play with a sign before the pitch? Probably. Buster’s arm gets it done the 8th and 9th. Nice game. Not a lot of production — but I think the new blood added energy tonight…
